Italian screen veteran Sophia Loren has sparked speculation she has posed naked for next year's (07) edition of the legendary Pirelli Calendar - at the impressive age of 71.
The Oscar-winning beauty, famed for her voluptuous curves, agreed to be photographed for the calendar which is known for its "artistic" portraits of famous women.
But Pirelli have hotly denied the nudity claims, and insist curious fans will just have to wait to see how the EL CID beauty posed.
Loren said she had "a lot of fun, like a young girl" at the shoot, which took place at a secret Californian location.
Loren will be the oldest woman to be shot for the calendar, which will also feature Naomi Watts, Penelope Cruz, Hilary Swank and LOU DOILLON.
